    On the model, the roof is inset into the upper sides and is the way into the interior of the car. The sides and flatcar are one component, so it would be difficult to "remove" the Vert-A-Pac from the TT flat.

    I can answer that one since I have one; they are one piece construction there(Flatcar/Body).

    The Verts are $24.95. $24.95 times 2 = $49.90.

    I was interested in getting one of the IC Verts, but the shipping is STEEP.

    I considered getting multiples and selling the excess off, but I'd have to buy 3 to get the free shipping.

    In the end they lost a sale.

    I hope they get some distribution.

    Not really for TOFC... I may be wrong, but I've never encountered any evidence that low-deck bowl flats by ACF were used for anything but these Vert-A-Paks* and maybe some tri-level autoracks.


    *To clarify, there are two types of Vert-A-paks... the first ones had ACF built flats and bodies built by St. Louis car... the later had P-S built flats and W&K built bodies.
